Meeting the needs of the manufacturing and service sectors of contemporary industry, this volume is concerned with the human factors, ergonomics, and safety issues related to the design of products, processes, and systems, as well as the operation and management of business enterprises.
As markets become more dynamic and competitive, companies must reconsider how they view inventory and make changes to their production and inventory systems.
In an era of profound environmental and geopolitical uncertainty, Designing through Planetary Breakdown offers fresh perspectives on design's evolving role in the face of planetary change.
The First Comprehensive Book on the SubjectFocusing on the underlying structure of a system, Optimal Design of Queueing Systems explores how to set the parameters of a queueing system, such as arrival and service rates, before putting it into operation.
Through simple, practical approaches, Reliability Analysis and Prediction with Warranty Data: Issues, Strategies, and Methods helps Six Sigma black belts and engineers successfully interpret warranty data to make accurate predictions.
A handbook in the truest sense of the word, the first edition of the Operations Research Calculations Handbook quickly became an indispensible resource.
For the past decade, the rapid development of the ergonomics disciplines as well as the fast growing economy in the Asian region have been attracting the attention of the international ergonomics community.
As quality becomes an increasingly essential factor for achieving business success, building quality improvement into all stages-product planning, product design, and process design-instead of just manufacturing has also become essential.
A reference for those working at the interface of operations planning and optimization modeling, Operations Planning: Mixed Integer Optimization Models blends essential theory and powerful approaches to practical operations planning problems.
Based on the many approaches available for dealing with large-scale systems (LSS), Decentralized Control and Filtering in Interconnected Dynamical Systems supplies a rigorous framework for studying the analysis, stability, and control problems of LSS.
Helps Students Understand Mathematical Programming Principles and Solve Real-World ApplicationsSupplies enough mathematical rigor yet accessible enough for undergraduatesIntegrating a hands-on learning approach, a strong linear algebra focus, Maple software, and real-world applications, Linear and Nonlinear Programming with Maple : An Interactive,
Written by international contributors, Learning Curves: Theory, Models, and Applications first draws a learning map that shows where learning is involved within organizations, then examines how it can be sustained, perfected, and accelerated.
Integer Programming: Theory and Practice contains refereed articles that explore both theoretical aspects of integer programming as well as major applications.
A First Course in Probability with an Emphasis on Stochastic ModelingProbability and Stochastic Modeling not only covers all the topics found in a traditional introductory probability course, but also emphasizes stochastic modeling, including Markov chains, birth-death processes, and reliability models.
Full of practical examples, Introduction to Scheduling presents the basic concepts and methods, fundamental results, and recent developments of scheduling theory.
Unlike most engineers, system engineers focus on the knowledge base needed to develop good systems in a cross-functional fashion rather than deeply on isolated topics.
As multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) continues to grow and evolve, machine learning (ML) techniques have become increasingly important in finding efficient and effective solutions to complex problems.
As sensors become ubiquitous, a set of broad requirements is beginning to emerge across high-priority applications including disaster preparedness and management, adaptability to climate change, national or homeland security, and the management of critical infrastructures.
Portable ventilation systems provide an option for supplementing installed ventilation, as well as providing a system for ventilation where none exists.
The field of machinery maintenance is undergoing a remarkable transformation, driven by the convergence of intelligent technologies and data-driven approaches.
Engineers and scientists often need to solve complex problems with incomplete information resources, necessitating a proper treatment of uncertainty and a reliance on expert opinions.
Efficient Energy Utilization and Emission Reduction Strategies in Plant Operations summarizes technological advancements in effective energy utilization in plant operations.
Winner of IIE Book of the Month, December 2013The introduction of reverse supply chains has created many challenges in network design, transportation, selection of used products, selection and evaluation of suppliers, performance measurement, marketing-related issues, end-of-life (EOL) alternative selection, remanufacturing, disassembly, and produc
Taking a new product from the design stage to large-scale production in a profitable, efficient manner can challenge the processes of even the most advanced companies.
The reference text discusses fundamental principles, planning, sourcing, demand forecasting, and supply forecasting in the field of supply chain management.
